  1. Re:SOE? Give names please. on Sony Breach Gets Worse: 24.6 Million Compromised Accounts At SOE · · Score: 2

    Please, a true Slashdotter doesn't even finish reading the headline before posting.

  2. Re:Follow the trail on Apple Buys iCloud.com Domain For $4.5 Million · · Score: 5, Funny

    The plural of speculation is fact.

  3. ISPs on IPv6 Traffic Remains Minuscule · · Score: 1

    My ISP (Virgin Media) have said that they've "got enough" IPv4 addresses and that they'll start to look at IPv6 "sometime in 2012", so it's not like people are falling over each other to get IPv6 support up and running.

  4. Rumors on Rumors Pointing to September iPhone 5 Ship Date · · Score: 3, Funny

    Originally rumors had stated that the iPhone 5 had already started production back in March

    But these new rumors are definitely accurate!

  5. Re:Who "owns" the data? on Dropbox Can't See Your Dat– Er, Never Mind · · Score: 1

    it's using that entity's toner, paper, etc

    As opposed to using their box/vault/building/security systems/staff/etc?

    Ultimately, of course, it depends on the terms you agreed to when you arranged to use the service (subject to irrevocable rights and so forth).

  6. Re:Who "owns" the data? on Dropbox Can't See Your Dat– Er, Never Mind · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When you put you belongings in a safety deposit box, do they belong to you or to the person/company that actually owns the safety deposit box?

    I don't think they are that stupid

    You've obviously never used Symantec's products...

  9. Or on Firefox 5 In Aurora Channel · · Score: 0

    Firefox today took another step towards ripping off Chrome completely by adding another release channel.

  13. Re:No news here on Thousands of SSL Certs Issued To Unqualified Names · · Score: 2

    I'd rather teach users to get IT to install our internal CA certs onto their devices before they'll connect so that all the other internal services signed by our CA will work correctly as well.

    Of course, we could just pay some "trusted" chimps for a wildcard cert for our internal domain, but having our own certificates with direct control over them and the ability to issue whatever we need when we need it is somewhat preferable.

  14. Re:Charge the CA with complicity in any attacks on Thousands of SSL Certs Issued To Unqualified Names · · Score: 1

    It's not actually an issue with 2010 any more as you should be specifying FQDNs for the RPCClientAccessServer values on your databases and Outlook will pull the necessary information out of AD when setting up new mail profiles.

  15. Re:No news here on Thousands of SSL Certs Issued To Unqualified Names · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the ideal reason to be using an internal CA to me.

  16. Re:YAY !! SLASHDOT AFFIRMS BAD GUYS WINING IS GOOD on US Government Domain Seizures Failing Miserably · · Score: 1

    Pretty much.

  17. Creative Solutions on US Government Domain Seizures Failing Miserably · · Score: 1

    With all the side-channels, like Twitter, available these days, it's trivial to communicate a change of domain to your users, but if you're creative then you don't even have to do that. A few sites now, notably Newzbin.com have started using Tor hidden services to make domain seizures a non-issue.

    As with any arms race, all you really achieve is creating some really neat new technologies and methods to get one over on the other guy.

  18. Re:Meh ... on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    It's called Seamonkey

  19. Re:Remind me again on Microsoft Files EU Competition Complaint Against Google · · Score: 1

    Didn't Internet Explorer have lots of competitors?

    Nope, it had a few "browsers" that were just fancy shells for the IE rendering engine, Firefox/Firebird/Phoenix & Opera and neither of those were bundled with every copy of Windows sold ever and set as the default web browser.

    People forget that being a monopoly isn't illegal. It's being a monopoly and *using* that position to gain advantage in an area that you don't have a monopoly that's illegal.

  20. Re:Removed on Comodo Says Two More RAs Compromised · · Score: 2

    Well in Firefox/Seamonkey go into the security settings, Manage Certificates, Trusted Authorities and delete everything under Comodo. For IE you need to open the Windows certificate management via MMC and then do the same thing.

    Let's just hope they're not rolling out RSA Tokens :)

  23. Re:"Catastrophic" means... on Americans Favor Moratorium On New Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    As others have pointed out, amazingly the earthquake wasn't the problem, it was the tsunami that really caused the damage to the plant by shutting off the generators running the coolant pumps.

  24. Or... on Americans Favor Moratorium On New Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Poorly informed people, lead by sensationalist news stories, when asked leading questions, will give obvious answers.

  25. Re:Fukushima on Fukushima Radioactive Fallout Nears Chernobyl Levels · · Score: 4, Insightful

    DO dismiss out of hand comparisons of Fukushima with Chernobyl. Because they're completely different events, at differently designed nuclear power plants, with a completely different level of response from the local authorities. Even in the absolute worst case scenario, Fukushima will never be anywhere near as bad as Chernobyl was in terms of deaths, long term damage to the environment or cost & duration of cleanup.
